Then again...

...what do I know! Perhaps the "Ping-Pong-ball" syndrome will be taken to a whole new level! Either way, I'm not there yet, and I accept that. I'm sure thankful for friends, however, who have obviously made room for me in their lives, and, I think, have benefited. I know I sure have! It has been raining and even hailing very heavily here in Calgary! Sure glad I had my umbrella! I don't leave home without it! Most of the time, I use it to keep the sun off my head; but then when it rains (or even hails), I'm covered! I was reviewing Psalm 22 in my mind, because it is one of today's evening Psalms. I think it is a reminder not to jump to conclusions when someone seems to be out of the blessing of God. I know it can be tempting to say, "See! Look at that! We knew it! The proof of the pudding is in the eating thereof, and now we have proof that so-and-so veered from God's will." David, in this Psalm, sure seemed to be - again - at odds with God's will; and so did his son, Jesus the Messiah, also known as the Christ. He, however, was - as the story goes - FULFILLING God's will. And I'm sure glad David, and Jesus, had friends in their time of need. I remember my friends - again - and salute you. And, I confess, I need you.
